Ice axe for technical mountaineering Bandit

Versatile ice axe for a wide range of use

• given its modular design, the ice axe can be adapted to a particular ascent
• especially suitable for demanding technical mountaineering and ice climbing
• bent shaft makes hooking in steep ice or rock easy while creating an optimum grip angle
• hot forged head allows use of adze/hammer and choice of ICE or DRY pick (for demanding mixed climbing
• the ice axe can be used without adze/hammer)
• head shape is designed so that it can be jammed into cracks and to provide support for climbing in soft snow
• the weight of the head is concentrated in the trajectory of the swing making penetration into hard ice as easy as possible
• possible to connect a carabiner to the head or hang the ice axe on PORTER
• ergonomically shaped handle is made of dual-density plastic for thermal insulation and safe grip
• a carabiner or BUNGEE tether may be attached to the spike
• BOXER protects fingers against injury and getting drenched and enables leashless climbing; RHINO hook is designed for higher grip in demanding ice/mixed climbing or, in contrast, in climbing snow slopes (you may remove both accessories and get a light ice axe for classic technical mountaineering)
• included with ICE pick and removable extra pick weights MASS for stronger swing (to improve pick penetration into the hardest ice)
